How it Works

Printed at the time of shipping ShelfAware’s intelligent RFID labels are placed on your customer’s packages, sent to their facility where they transmit data back to your organization giving you real-time visibility on your customer’s inventory usage.
-

ShelfAware staff will install a Zebra ZT410 inside your shipping department. It takes just minutes.

Generate shipping documents
Shelfware will provide the supplier with the data files allowing the supplier to create the business documents required to ship the product, like sales orders, pick tickets, and packing lists.

Print product labels
